Research Question

Does moving to a new city reduce the political engagement of youth?

• Youth have low levels of political engagement (Springman 2022)
• Low youth engagement is driven by lack of information (Holbein and Hillygus 2020)
• Youth that move probably have fewer social ties, and ties are important for facilitating engagement (Campbell 2013)

Data and Variables

Figure

Robustness

1. Moving reduces the likelihood of participating

• Specific kinds of participation more likely to be affected?
• Those who grew up in big city might be different; what about those that moved from urban area?
• Longer tenure should reduce this relationship; is the gap between older students smaller?
